Prefix filename in AWS File Uploader NoGUI

Plugins
#1

Hi,

Is there any way to remove the prefix letters from the filename when uploading a file using the FileUploaderNoGUI?

For instance, a client uploads a file called Zeroqode.docx and when my app shows the file, it appears as zq_6i42q1a9vqoZeroqode.docx. I know you can put them in a folder using the FileUploader GUI by setting uuid/filename, but it doesn’t appear possible using the NoGUI method?

Thanks

Hi @steve.middleton,

Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately, it is not possible. We are adding a unique id as prefix so you’d be able to upload the same files with same names multiple times, because otherwise AWS will override the existing one.

However, we’ve taken your feedback into account for future improvements of our plugin if feasible. :pray:

Best,
Alex

Thanks. I understand. It would then useful to show the filename without the unique id if that’s possible. At least it will look ok then. Maybe there’s another way of doing that outside of the plugin?

Thanks @steve.middleton,

We’ll consider it for future improvements for sure if possible, but for now I’m afraid there is not way to influence on it because it is at plugin level.

Thanks for understanding. :pray:
